- “The most rewarding aspect of my job is being able to use my laboratory knowledge to help local patients in Hope, many who are known personally in our small and tight knit community. I also enjoy the comradery that is felt between the lab team and other allied health professionals working at the Fraser Canyon Hospital. Every month or two an engagement activity is planned for all staff working at the hospital. Activities include snowshoeing, skiing, paddle boarding, and kayaking to name a few. This builds a sense of belonging within the Fraser Canyon Hospital health professional team.
